Moral ano Religious.
In Heaven.

"Their angels do always behold the fac
my Father"
Silence filled the courts of heaven,
flushed were seraphs' harp and tone,
When little newborn cherub
Knelt before the Eternal Throne;
While its soft white hands were lifted,
Clasped as If in earnest prayer,
And its voice in dove-like murmurs
Rose like music on the ear.
Light from the full fount of glory
on his robe of whiteness glistened.
And the white-winged seraphs near him
Bowed their radiant heads and listened
Lord, from thy throne of glory here
My heart turns fondly to another
Lord my God the Comforter
Comfort, comfort my sweet mother!
Many sorrows hast thou sent her
Meeky has she drained the cup,
Aud the jewels thou hast lent her
Unrepining yielded up.
Comfort, comfort my sweet mother
Earth is growing lonely round her;
Friend and lover hast thou taken;
Let her not, though woes surround her,
Feel herself by thee forsaken.
Let her think, when faint and weary,
We are waiting for her here;
Let each loss that makes earth dreary
Make the hope of heaven more dear.
Comfort, comfort my sweet mother
"Thou who once, in nature human,
Dwelt on earth a.little child,
Pilowed on the breast of woman,
Blessed Mary undefled;
Thou who, from the cross of suffering,
Marked thy mothers fearful face,
And bequeathed her to thy loved one,
Bidding him to fill thy place,
Comfort, comfort my sweet mother
"Thou who once from heaven descending
Tears and woes and conflicts won;
Thou who natures laws suspending,
Gavst the widow back her son;
Thou who at the grave of Lazarus
Wept with those who wept their dead;
Thou who once in mortal anguish
Bowed thine own anointed head,
Comfort, comfort my sweet mother"
The dove-like murmurs died away
Upon the radiant air;
And still the little suppliant knelt
With hands still clasped in prayer.
Still were those mildly pleading eyes
Turned to the sapphire throne,
Till golden harp and angel voice
Rang forth in mingled tone.
And as the swelling numbers flowed,
BY angel voices given,
Rich, sweet and clear, the anthem rolled
Through all the courts of heaven:
He is the widows God" it said.
"who spared not his OWN SON"
The infant cherub bowed its head:
" Thy wiH, 0 LORD, be done"
Thomas Westrood.

THE butter market always makes a
wide distinction between butter that is
of rich golden color and that which is
white and lardy. Dairymen should
always use Wells, Richardson & Co.'s
Improved Butter Color, which will give
the gilt edge at all seasons of the year.
1t is pure and strong, and always reli
able.

White cloth dresses trimmed with
gold braid are most fashionable, but they
are costly, because they require to be
made by tailor, and only the best gold
braid used, or it will soon tarnish. Those
to whom money is no object spend large
sums on buttons, which are engraved
with initials or monograms. On such
dresses as these the buttons are gold, but
on the catching dresses they are tortoise
shell, with the engraving only in gold.

dunn size, with eager, futtering wings,
on y a few feet above the ground, and
rising by short, quick flights. He poured
forth flood of notes as he went upward.
The voice had something in it-some.
thing Observation-Disclosures made it differ
eut from any bird song of ours. Then,
too, it sang while rising. This could be
none other than the European skylark,
especially as l had been told that he
could be heard in that neighborhood
1t is wonderfully inspiring to hear
bird sing as he mounts heavenward, yet
with the skylark (dare I say it9 the first
feeling of the listener is apt to be one of
disappointment For the quality of
tone and the character of particular
notes is what engrosses the attention
at the outset, and the observer calls to
mind large number of singers whose
notes are equal to these. He can even
name several whose voices surpass this
new voice from the Old World.
But do not insist too much uro7s = q
quality. Wait and listen. Tic
grows upon you. You wonder WI ere
any creature can find the power to sag
50 rapturously and continuously while
mounting into the sky. There is no
pause at all between the notes. They
are almost as rapid as those of the bobo
link, though less impetuous, with less
bubbHng exuberance. This is truly
the joy sohg of bithe spirit borne
aloft into the sky.
For inspirational quality and for con
tinuance of song this bird passes any
bird of ours, or rather ct US say any M
tue bird, for he has become ours. We
have assimilated him, as we have assim-
Hated so much more of the world; and
he seems content to stay with US. Some
of the thrushes sing as long-the mock
ing. bird, the Song-thrush or brown
thrush, the cat-bird, the robin-but their
songs are not continuous. They are
many notes, with rests between them
For beauty Of tone this song is not very
remarkable; and as for beauty of inter
val, | have not discovered any Our
wood-thrush Ito name only one) far ex
GELS the lark in the first quality, and is
without an equal among American birds
in the second. In fact, if we judge by
the quality Of the tone alone, we shall
find that our English friend has long
been associated with heavens gate, our
wood-thrush has perch much nearer
those everlasting doors than the lark's
wings ever carry him. His song is truy
heavenly. 1t is the voice of spirit
serenely contemplating dwelling in re-
gion of calm JOY, Yet | doubt that any
listener will be as strongly moved by it
as by this new voice; this rain of melody
showered down in profuse strains of I'M
nrnmaditated art.
